The common unit of absolute viscosity is the poise. It is a fluid's internal resistance to flow. Both in the metric and in the imperial sample catalog the check valves are already set according to above.Absolute viscosity - the ratio of shear stress to shear rate. In my Python Valve app all these settings are coming out of the box. This way you will know what is the flow direction of the check valve, whether it is a threaded one, or a flanged version.

With the latest 1.07 version the check valves will have an implemented arrow sign on them: But how do you know which way the valve is facing? That is where my Python Valve app comes handy.

So now you have a valve which is flow dependant and has the proper isometric symbol. You can find all these types and SKEY in this document. It is also important that you set the isometric symbol correctly, to let Plant3D know what kind of symbol shall be associated with the edited valve: That is important because it will ensure that if you flip the valve in the model, its symbol will also flip on the isometric drawings. You have to set your valve as flow dependant. Moreover if you create a brand new check valve even if you flip its direction in Plant3D on the isometric drawing the direction will be the same. How do you know which way the valve is facing in the 3D model for example? So after generating the isometric drawing you get a surprise if your check-valve symbol is in the right direction or not. But there are some changes which might be even better than that.Īccording to my opinion flow direction of check valves is a tricky business in Plant3D. Matter of fact: there is no new valve script available in this version. This 1.07 update is not big considering the additional features or new valve types. A bigger update deserves a dedicated post - two posts actually.
